Policy Officer, SC (Community Based Approach to Local Development Phase-III) - Kyiv

CBA Project is financed by European Union and co-financed and implemented by UNDP. Its overall objective is to promote sustainable socio-economic development at local level by strengthening participatory governance and encouraging community-based initiatives throughout Ukraine. It is achieved by local communities and local governments by undertaking joint planning and joint implementation of community initiatives. First phase of the Project started in 2008 and was succeeded by its second phase in 2011. The Project has been operational in 25 regions, 264 rayons, 1108 village/city councils and 1109 local communities of Ukraine. The wealth of experience accumulated in course of implementation were regularly documented and disseminated. The experience also helped development of policy recommendations on the reform of local self-governance and decentralization. A national level knowledge hub was established and nurtured under the umbrella of Ukrainian Association of District and Regional Councils to serve as a mean of knowledge exchange, platform for broader policy discussions and involvement of all stakeholders into the policy dialogue. Besides, more than 20 universities across the country have partnered with CBA Project to utilise CBA experience into their curriculum. The project period is until May 2015.

The third phase of the CBA Project (CBA III) has begun with 42 months duration. It carries expanded vision over previous two phases and will be implemented throughout Ukraine. Expanded vision includes project interventions in rural areas, in urban areas and in the areas of knowledge management. Under the knowledge management component scope of policy work will be enlarged through expansion of partnership with various national level associations of local governments; documentation of good practices and lessons learned; enhancing knowledge sharing and developing policy recommendations and advocating for decentralisation reform agenda. A Policy Officer implements the vision of the Project on knowledge management. Detail about CBA-III can be found at www.cba.org.ua/three.
